Hi Friends, here's wanting to share with you once more in gratitude, my personal notes and reflections too, on last Sunday's 1st Talk entitled FILL of the Series Leak: How To Heal Others Through Our Brokenness by our Laguna District Builder Bro Jon Escoto @ The Feast SM Santa Rosa, Cinema 1.

Have you been worrying a lot lately?
You've been in unfair situation?
You’re breaking and you don’t know how to mend?
… in effect, parang lahat ng worries nasambot mo na;
… parang lahat ng justifications inangkin mo na;
… kasi ang sabi mo, “nasasaktan ka!”
But friend, why not look around and see who else is hurting?
While you’re much focused on your pain, God must have been hurting too!
Why? … because you don’t seem to acknowledge His outstretched arms,
striving to reach out to comfort you.
And you doubted instead, doubled with all apprehensions.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” -- Ps 147:3
All along, we are constantly given all the opportunity to praise God in advance:
1. when there is Anxiety
You cannot grow in faith by complaining
Don’t forget to thank God in advance
Switch over into praise!!!
It's all about thanking God
Praise keeps us moving forward.
If you don't thank God in advance, you will not have the grace to wait for the fulfillment of His promise.
From faith comes strength
Stop running; refrain from worrying; start trusting!
The secret:
“Every time you worry let it be the signal to praise God in advance!”
But the problem is:
When things are not turning towards our timetable, we start begging God.
No need to worry, God have heard you long before.
Never beg each time. God will give what you want soon,
just keep on trusting that He will fulfill His promise.
The key:
The blessing that's to come…just keep on thanking God everyday!
2. when there is Uncertainty
“Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind
to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard,
and I have come in response to them.” -- Daniel 10:12
From the day you said your prayer, God already heard it.
God heard you the first time.
The very first day, the answer is on its way!
The promise is already in motion!
3. when there is Tragedy
You just can't see it yet with your natural eyes
But sometimes we look at our situation as dead – when the fact of the heart is that you can actually bring things back to life.
4. when there is Calamity
Offer a sacrifice of praise!
Umiiyak ang kalooban mo but you still praise God for it.
Di bawal mag complain, but please, do not murmur all the days of your life!
Praise and God will make a way!
So friend, cheer up, make up your mind, FILL YOUR HEART with God’s love.
Don't loose praise!
The battle may be tough but God will never let a praiser to be a looser! #sunset
